I just tried to write a post for an hour straight and all that came out was BORING. Really. Brutally and mind numbingly dull and stale as three week old bread. And because I love you and don’t want you to fall asleep at the keyboard while reading this I have decided to spare you. I think I’m having a breakdown from the pressure of the new blog and that retarded Google analytics program that my husband got me hooked on. I spend more time than I’d like to admit looking at where my readership is coming from (I say that like there’s more than five of you) and how long they spend here and which pages they read. It’s making me nervous. And when I’m nervous I write like I’m in grade five. It’s not cool. Keep checking back. I’ll write as soon as I can not have a fit of narcolepsy every time-

Not to sound like a dork, but how do you get that program? I keep trying to figure out how everyone knows these stats and I don’t.
Thanks!

All I know is the address:
https://www.google.com/analytics/home/login?reset=1
How to set it up or anything like that is my hubby’s department.
Good luck!

Generally speaking, it takes two steps to add analytics to your website pages:
1) login into google analytics and add your website profile (follow the prompts)
2) add the script block they provide to your pages. You can do this by a) manually editing your theme and inserting the javascript goop or b) using an add-in that your blog software can use to do thia automatically. This is what I did with Shannon’s wordpress blog - made it really easy.
Let me know if you have problems and I can walk you through the specifics and help you set things up for your blog.
